2. Advanced Control Centre With the Loading Systems Advanced Control you can efficiently and pro-actively coordinate, monitor, control and manage vehicle traffic around your loading bays. The system is based on Dock Management, Facility Management, Service and Statistics & Reporting modules. Your loading and unloading systems, monitored 24/7

The Advanced Control Centre Dock Management module offers live information on the status of all your loading and unloading dock stations. Vehicles can be allocated to a loading bay by making a real-time reservation at the loading and unloading dock from a remote location. As soon as the vehicle docks at a loading and unloading bay, you immediately see what is happening on the screen. The live status of the load­ ing bay equipment at the loading and unloading bay is also made continuously visible, including informa­ tion on whether the dock door is open or closed, or whether a dock leveller...

2. Advanced Control Centre 2.3 Service With the Advanced Control Centre Service module, your loading and unloading bay equipment is moni­ tored 24/7. The Advanced Control Centre informs a Loading System specialist on any loading and unload­ ing bay equipment breakdowns. Problems can immedi­ ately be analysed and solved, at times often remotely, which significantly reduces operational disruption to your loading and unloading activities. Maintenance Periodic maintenance guarantees maximum optimisa­ tion of your loading and unloading bay equipment. Based on measured usage, periodic maintenance...

2. Advanced Control Centre The Advanced Control Centre Statistics & Reporting module allows you to optimise transport and flow of goods. With the Statistics & Reporting module you have the possibility to retrieve loading bay equipment usage rates, exact and average loading and unload­ ing times, and the number of movements per loading and unloading bay. Data can be used effectively and efficiently to monitor and control your loading and un­ loading activity to optimise efficiency. The Advanced Control Centre is an easily accessible solution and is fully web-based. It only requires minimal...

User-friendliness is largely determined during the design phase 3.1 Site layout The directions of approaching vehicles as well as the required turning circle space are both important fac­ tors when planning the site lay-out. Another important factor to consider is the centre distance between each adjacent loading bay to ensure adequate space is available to open the vehicle doors. It is also important that the vehicle drivers have a clear view in their mir­ rors during the vehicle docking process. It situations where insufficient yard space is an issue, loading bays can be arranged on a saw...

3.2 oading and unloading platform L drainage When designing the yard immediately in front of the loading bay it is important to construct the yard drain­ age so that surface water runs away from the building. The gradient of the yard should always be constructed to ensure that docked vehicles are as near as ­ ossible p to the horizontal plane. This will ensure that any sur­ face water on the roof of the trailer will run from the top of the vehicle top and not fall onto warehouse operatives or any goods positioned in the door open­ ing. When yard gradients are constructed correctly, it...

3.4 ock leveller - dimensions & load D capacity The dock leveller width depends on the vehicle clear width and the goods to be loaded / unloaded. The dock leveller length is determined by the maximum permissible working gradients for the internal transport vehicle and the goods to be loaded/unloaded. Admissible slope angle (a): Hand pallet: Electrical transpallet: Electrical fork-lift truck: Diesel or gas fork-lift truck: When electrically powered or hand operated pallet trucks are used or when loading and unloading the last load onto a vehicle below the warehouse level, then dock levellers...
